In an airtight container or Ziplock bag, combine garlic, light soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, dark soy sauce, & white pepper. Mix until honey is dissolved.

Add in chicken wings & make sure the wings are well coated then marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.

Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F.

Shake excess marinade off wings & save the marinade. Add chicken to the air fryer, working in batches if needed so the air fryer basket isn’t overcrowded. Cook wings for 15 - 18 minutes, or until browned & cooked through (juices run clear or internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F). Flip halfway through.. At this point, the chicken wings will be light in color, but will continue to caramelize as they continue to cook.

In the meantime, heat a small pot or pan on medium heat with the marinade. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until it’s thickened into a sticky glaze. Keep in mind, the thicker the sauce, the more concentrated the flavor. If the sauce turns too thick for your liking, you can add a splash of water to loosen the sauce a bit. Once the sauce is done, turn off heat & cover to keep warm.

Once the chicken is done, immediately toss them in the sauce until well coated. Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted white sesame seeds if you’re feeling fancy. Serve with a side of steamy hot rice and / or veggies and enjoy!
